News shape minds - Minds shape nation

–noun (usually used with a singular verb )

1. newly received or noteworthy information about recent events. 2 (the news) a broadcast or published news report. 3. (news to) informal information not previously known to.

News.. was interesting when we were kids... to read newpapers, watch the 9’o clock news on National TV and get to know the events that shaped the world. Such wonderful times!!… Now, things have deteriorated, its nothing but reports relating to crime and misery, bomb blasts, attacks, terrorism, deaths, crisis, hatred, chaos... has the world changed or just the news that come across to us??? News today is all that hampers the growth of a peaceful and a vibrant mind. 80% of the newspaper or the pvt media channels mirror only the dark side of human kind. Times have not remained the same, yet the responsibility of the media is to build a society with a strong foundation of humanity, love, properity and growth. So much power the media has. News is supposed to inspire and drive individuals, communities, civilizations towards progress and exploration of the world within and around us. All the news channels/newpapers are a big let down today. None of them… think there are atleast 8-10 (probably more than that) pvt Indian news channels running on TV as of today… and yet every other channel just report everday incidents rather than enlighten people. A very good habit that my father taught me, to read the news paper and watch the National news for one hour daily, i can not impart the same to the children of today. All that today’s newpapers/TV channels crave is to get more and more viewers hooked to them by reporting cheap, controversial and behind the door events, than to build the young minds of a nation. It’s a rat race, an absolute mockery that the media is making of itself today and the jokers being the ones who make the headlines. arent they??????
